It's 2018 and cbcExposed continues to hear from confidential sources inside the CBC about CBC management snooping on its employees, company waste, low employee morale, huge salaries and benefits for the President and other senior management, gender bias and other scandals and we will continue to expose their reports on our blog while we protect our sources. We take joy in knowing that the CBC-HQ visits us daily to spy on us and read our stories such as news bias, waste, the CBC Sunshine List, ongoing scandals including the epic Dr. Leenen case against The Fifth Estate (the largest libel legal case ever awarded against the media in Canadian history) where no one at CBC was fired and taxpayers paid the award and legal costs for this CBC Libel action. Writers and filmmakers take note-this is a Perfect story for an award winning Documentary!

cbcExposed continues to enjoy substantial visitors coming from Universities and Colleges across Canada who use us for research in debates, exams, etc.

We ask students to please join with us in this mission; you have the power to make a difference! And so can private broadcasters who we know are hurting from the dwindling Advertising revenue pool and the CBC taking money from that pool while also unfairly getting Tax subsidies money. It's time to stop being silent and start speaking up Bell Media-CTV, Shaw-Global, Rogers, etc.

Our cbcExposed Twitter followers and frequent visitors to cbcExposed continue to motivate us to expose CBC’s abuse and waste of tax money as well as exposing their ongoing left wing bully-like news bias. Polls meanwhile show that Canadians favour selling the wasteful government owned media giant and to put our tax money to better use for all Canadians. The Liberals privatized Petro Canada and Air Canada; it’s time for the Trudeau Liberals to privatize the CBC- certainly not give them more of our tax money-enough is enough!

The CBC network’s ratings continue to plummet while their costs and our tax- payer subsidiescontinue to go up! In 2018 what case can be made for the Government to be in the broadcasting business, competing unfairly with the private sector? The CBC receives advertising and cable/satellite fees-fees greater than CTV and Global but this is not enough for the greedy CBC who also receive more than a billion dollars of your tax money every year. That’s about $100,000,000 (yes, 100 MILLION) of our taxes every 30 days with no CBC accountability to taxpayers as they continue with their biased news service serving only the extreme socialists and anti-Semitics. Wake up Canada!

What does it take for real change at the CBC? YOU! Our blog now contains a link to the Politicians contact info for you to make your voice heard. Act now and contact your MP, the Cabinet and Prime Minister ... tell them to stop wasting your money, and ... sell the CBC.

Two Doctors, the CBC and a Judgement

On Feb. 27, 1996, Dr. Martin Myers, a respected cardiologist at Toronto's Sunnybrook hospital, sat down to watch TV. He thought he was going to see a program in which he had taken part about the pharmaceutical industry. As an expert in heart drugs, he had given an interview to explain a complicated medical debate over a drug used to treat high blood pressure.

What he saw was a sensational exposé about killer drugs, kickback schemes and secret files. The tease for the program was a voice clip that said, "People are dying, people who don't need to die are dying."

To his shock, the program went on to insinuate that he had helped Canada's Health Protection Branch cover up a major scandal involving tens of thousands of deaths. It implied that he was knowingly helping a drug manufacturer push a dangerous medication.

Dr. Myers asked for an apology plus $25,000.

The CBC decided to fight.

A very expensive decision. Last November, a judge awarded Dr. Myers a hefty $200,000, plus interest and costs.

CBC continues its arrogant, wasteful operation beginning with the CEO, Hubert Lacroix and working down the chain of command. Waste is as rampant and unrelenting as is their biased news service.

Our Twitter followers and frequent visitors to cbcExposed help us to continue to expose CBC’s abuse and waste of tax money as well as their ongoing left wing news bias. Thank you for your support.

In addition to what private broadcasters such as CTV and Global get from advertising and cable/satellite fees the CBC also receives $100,000,000 of your tax money every 30 days. No need to run an efficient service, you have lots of money and they know how to spend it, what a marriage!

Time for a divorce! Latest Polls clearly indicate that Canadians want a change. They see no need for a Government owned taxpayer funded broadcast service in 2014 and taxpayers clearly choose to privatize the CBC now. The Liberals did this for Petro Canada and Air Canada and despite Union cries both flourish today without taxpayer money.

This privatization can easily be achieved by selling CBC English and CBC French to separate buyers to maximize the ownership management and content to Canadians. New private ownership of the CBC will enhance the future of media in Canada. The billions earned from the sale of the CBC and the taxpayer savings of $100,000,000 every month could be used for health care and education.

cbcExposed continues to hear from confidential sources inside the CBC and we will continue to expose their reports of waste, abuse and bias. Meanwhile you can make a difference by contacting your MP to let her/him know you believe they should act today to privatize the CBC.

The privileged government media giant, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation- the CBC, is out of control, a bull in the proverbial china shop, with huge amounts of money pouring into their abyss of spending waste every day.And, it’s not enough to spend the vast amount of money they receive from advertising revenues and from the viewer fees gobbled up from the public – paid to them from the cable and satellite companies – no, that is not enough money for the untouchable, powerful CBC execs.They demand and get more money from the federal bureaucrats and politicians.Unfortunately, that ‘more’ is a lot of money and it comes from the little guys such as you, the taxed to death taxpayers of Canada.

The CBC receives a billion dollars plus, every year from us and the Corp., as they are called, have special powers to prevent any normal public investigation of their funding expenses- expenses such as compensation to senior executives and to talent, and on their huge spending for programming content costs. Mega public money is devoured by them every day with little accountability.

Their competition, CTV and Shaw/Global, for example, survive and indeed prosper from the advertising and cable/satellite fees earned.However, this significant amount of normal broadcast industry standard revenue, easily capable of making a private sector broadcast group happy, is not sufficient for the money burning privileged CBC.In fact, we taxpayers are giving them more than an additional one billion dollars every year.Yes that’s $1 billion.More than one billion dollars of your tax money, plucked out of your pocket and given as a free gift to this government owned media service every twelve months.And, if that is not enough to shock you, please know that the CBC continues to operate in an arrogant ‘we are exempt from the rules’ manner, making it difficult for the public to access any information about how they operate.To attempt to find out how much the Corp. pays their talent, or to simply have a review of their budgets, perhaps see how they run their programming and ‘objective’ news operation, you will likely have to fight hard including pursuing the difficult ‘access to information’ process-and years later if you do get it the info you requested may be redacted. Good luck trying. CBC executives continue to act as if we the taxpayers are just an unlimited ATM vehicle for their pleasure.Enough is Enough.It’s time for a change!

Together we can make a positive difference. We can tell the people in charge, the senior politicians and bureaucrats who can make this change, that it is not acceptable to reach into our pocketbooks to grab one billion dollars every year to give to a privileged, arrogant government owned out of control media service.It’s time to say no, to say ‘you’re hard earned tax money is not to be wasted anymore, that you are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore’. We need change. Act now!

It’s time to sell the CBC.Use those billions in proceeds from the sale plus also keep the more than one billion dollars wasted in that giant media ATM cave every year, to invest it into something of real value- health care, education, the arts, or perhaps cut our taxes?Help us take action today.Read on, vote, see Contacts to pursue change, visit us regularly for up-dated stories, get informed, become involved.
